Death... and me

Roan pulled his White Star Scythe out, threatening to attack.

As one can imagine, Anfrou didn't seem the least bit scared. "Hehe! You are Uncle Kafan's disciple? Well, I have been taught by him and the other elders since I was born. I didn't need to be a disciple as I'm a real Death Spirit. Do you think your limited tutelage can make you stronger than me? Especially being at a lower Realm? Know your place!"

Without putting the amulet away, Anfrou gathered his Death Energy and used his Spatial and Time Power to launch an attack against Roan. Several hundred Dark Element needles, filled with those two powers, converged at Roan in a split second!

'Dark Iron Maiden!'

The Spatial and Time powers closed on Roan first, trying to lock his movements while the Dark Element Needles were about to hit him. "Don't worry, Uncle Kafan seems to regard you quite well, so I won't kill you. Let this be my lesson to you instead."

However, Anfrou noticed something strange. He was expecting Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy, who were all in the Elemental Space Realm Peak Stage like Roan, to join forces. Anfrou thought that Roan was being that brave because he was going to use numbers against him. Yet, Rean simply stepped back, and so did everyone else other than Roan. 'Hmph! In the end, not even his companions have the courage to join him. At least they are a little more intelligent than this guy,' thought Anfrou.

Too bad, though. Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy simply didn't want to get in Roan's way. Especially Rean and Kentucky, who had rarely ever seen Roan that irritated. Well, that's not counting the times Rean and Kentucky make Roan feel like that...

*Crack!*

Suddenly, the Spatial and Time Powers that were sealing Roan's movements seemed to break apart like glass. Space cracked everywhere as the Time Power, trying to slow his movements, lost all its effect. Roan was using his own Time and Space Power to fight back.

The next moment, his body disappeared, transforming into a streak of Black and White light that came straight for Anfrou! As for the several hundred Dark Element needles, they hit nothing but empty space.

'What?!' Anfrou was shocked, but he was still a Death Spirit in the Space-Time Realm. He immediately reacted and tried to keep his distance from Roan. Too bad, though. He was just too slow!

It only took a blink of an eye for Roan to catch up to Anfrou, forcing the latter to access his Pocket Dimensional Realm and bring out a pair of weapons similar to chakrams. They spun in front of Anfrou, absorbing his immense Death Energy and creating a barrier of incredible power. Without a doubt, Anfrou was definitely stronger than your run of the mil Initial Stage Space-Time Realm expert.

Surprisingly, Roan didn't stop or try to dodge. His Sky Energy, Weapon Aura, and Powerful body attack that barrier head-on!

'Death Style, Death Scythe!'

*Swish!*

The difference in power was just too ridiculous! The Death Energy of the Chakrams was split in half, followed by the Chakrams themselves! With all his cards and especially Rean's weapon, Roan was certain Anfrou's weapon and defense wouldn't be able to hold against him. Above all, Anfrou was completely underestimanting him, which sealed his fate.

*Zash!*

Suddenly, an arm flew off as an amulet appeared in Roan's hand. Roan cut Anfrou's arm without a second thought, not giving him any chance to react. Roan then poured his Sky Energy into the talisman, causing it to explode in his hand. That immediately stopped its effect on the Death Spirits near them. They should recover their consciences in a few minutes after that.

Anfrou quickly opened his distance from Roan. Although his arm was cut, there was no blood to be seen. Instead, Anfrou's form changed, and that arm transformed into Death Energy, just like Anfrou's own body. Anfrou had now returned to his Death Spirit Form. "You..."

Roan snorted, not caring about Anfrou's anger at all. "What did you say a moment ago? Kafan regarded me too much, so you wouldn't kill me? Well, this is your lucky day! It just so happens that Kafan seems to regard you quite a lot, too. That's the only reason I didn't end your life... well, Death Spirits aren't exactly alive, but you understand what I mean."

Anfrou's anger skyrocketed after hearing that, and he even prepared to attack again. However, he soon noticed Rean and Kentucky's gaze, looking at him as if he was an idiot. Only then did he remember that Roan wasn't the only one there. If Rean and Kentucky were just as strong as Roan, then he truly would have no chance of winning. As much as Anfrou hated to accept, Anfrou had to admit Roan wasn't weak. Perhaps he was even stronger than himself! 

"How can you use Time Power without being in the Space-Time Realm?" In the end, he gave up attacking back and just asked it out loud.

Roan put his White Star Scythe away and didn't mind telling Anfrou. "And who said that you must be in the Space-Time Realm to be able to use Time Power? It is this kind of convention that no one question that holds their abilities to evolve. From the looks of it, you also believe the same."

"That's surprising," Rean suddenly commented. "Usually, you would never go out of your way to tell the enemy about your strength and abilities."

Roan glanced at him and nodded. "I know. However, Master asked to teach this racist idiot a lesson, and so I did. That's all."

Roan then turned to Anfrou. "I was a Death Spirit Copy, just like the ones you tried to fuck just now. In the end, you are not all of that."

"Impossible!" Anfrou immediately refused to believe. "Death Spirits can't regain life, let alone copies!" That piece of information shocked Anfrou even more than his own defeat. If anything, it made him completely forget the previous short battle.

"Hmph!" Roan didn't care. "Whether you believe or not is your problem. You can ask Kafan himself later since I'm not in the mood to try to convince you."

Roan then ignored Anfrou and turned to the Death Spirits nearby. A few minutes later, they finally recovered their consciousness.
